Sad MOnenfS.


From the san Francisco Chronicle,
We have all some sad moments in our lives,
sad secrets that are not immoral nor criminal
or anything like that, but simply moments of
unhappy accident or painful stupidity. Don't
you recollect, for Instance, the time when your
best girl wanted you to take her TO tine theatre
and you wrote TO her you were sick and confined
to your bed, and her younger brother told her
next morning he had been out at prize fight
with your Don't you remember and kick your
self when you think of IL, the time you wanted
10 show her the pretty letter you had from
your mother about her, and you gave
her dunning note from the jeweler for the
handsome bracelet You gave her as a present
the Christmas beforef There are worse contre-
temps than that you recollcct occasionally, |
know, but they would not look pretty in print
am reminded az the subject by the absent
mindedneSs of fellow who dressed himself up
in his best and went one evening to call upon
the pretty daughter Of rich man, upon whose
fortune he was building great hopes of future
happiness. He rang the bell aud was shown
into the parlor In a minute the old gentleman
himself came down with the card in his hand
We are very glad 10 see you, Mr., Jones' but
don't think you intended this card for us"
IL was a pawn-ticket.

A STRANGE COMBAT.
A Rabbit, in Defense of its Nest, Gives
Battle to Blacksnake.

A Peoria, ILL.,, special to the Chicago Tribune
says The keeper of Springdale Cemetery, just
north of Peoria, to-day was witness Of a strange
combat. While engaged in his usual business of
attending to the graves his attention was arous-
ed by the strange antics of q rabbit. 1t seem
ed to be jumping up in the air and acting alto
gether in crazy manner Proceeding to the
spot, he was astonished to see that the rabbit
was giving battle to a blacksnake about five feet
in length. The rabbit had nest near by, and
in it were its two young The serpent was
several feet from the nest, and as it
tried to approach the rabbit would jump
fercely on the snake, biting it near the
head, and then jump back before the black
snake could get it i'll its coil When the snake
showed a disposition to remain cooled the rabbit
would make a feint and get it to strike, and
then quick as lightning would jump on the
snakes body. The rabbit had apparently lost
all fear of the presence of man, as the witness
of the strange battle stood within a few feet of
it. After few minutes the snake made up its
mind to get away badly worsted, and found
safety in brush pile into which the rabbit
could not penetrate, although it made efforts to
do so. 1t is the opinion of the keeper that if
the fight had occurred in the open ground where
the snake could not have sought concealment
the rabbit would have killed it.

as to be able TO walk about on crutches.
Greatly TO his discomfort, however, he is

formed in Massachusetts, since the row over
the celebration at Boston in honor of Queen
Victoria's jubilee, for the purpose of oppos-

ance. The organizations are really akin to

that he will die long before his term of hn-

Gen. John G.. Walker, recently appointed
Consul General and Secretary of Legation
at BogOta, is well-known throughout the
South. His record in the Confederate army
was an honorable one He entered the Uni
ted States army from Missouri in 1916, serv-
ing first as lieutenant and brevet captain in
the Mexican war. In 1861 he resigned his
captaincy in the Mounted Rifemen and en-
tered the Confederate service under Gen.
Holmes. He served two years in the army
of Northern Virginia under Gen Lee, and
was promoted to Major General in the lat
tor part of 1862. after the Sharps-
burg campaign, in which he commanded
a division. Afterward he was transferred
to the Trans Mississippi Division, under Gen.
Kirby Smith, and placed in command of the
military division of Texas, New Mexico and
Arizona. After the war Gen. Walker was
connected with Tom Scott and the Texas
Pacific railroad Six or seven years later
he engaged in mining operations. Recently
he has been living in Winchester, Va He
was indorsed for the position to which he
has been appointed by the Texas delegation
and by many prominent Congressman from
other States.

The attention which is Just now beng
given III the South 10 work for women is
healthy sign. Since the war the numDer of
| occupations open TO Southern women has in
creased, but it is not yet as large as it should
be The present agitation of the matter
ought to result in making it possible for any
Southern woman to earn her own living.
1t was announced, a short time ago, that
a famous Georgia college for women would
have in operation next term chronological
department 1t is understood that teleg-
raphy, typc-writing, and kindred arts will
be taught The departure from the old
plan of teaching women nothing but Ian
guageS, a little natural SCIENCE a little
geography, history and literature. ANA just
enough mathematics TO enable her TO count,
rounding it all off with smattering Of
music, deserves success After a course
such as has been indicated it is difficult to
imagine how a woman could be made more
helpless. Unless she subsequently under
takes to educate herself more thoroughly
and more with a view to doing something
for herself, marriage is her only recourse,
and it is very well known that this does not
always prove satisfactory as means OF
livelihood. 1t is a matter for congratula-
ton, therefore, that a Georgia college in
tends to take the lead in preparing South
ern women TO take care of themselves
The only objection TO the school which this
college proposes to establish is that it
will not be comprehensive enough. The
occupations for which it is intended to pre-
pare women offer but small remuneration,
and they are already crowded. A greater
variety OF subjects ought to be taught
Why would it not be feasible, for instance,
to teach designing, engraving, photography
and other arts entirely suitable for women!
There is no reason why women should not
become architects, or why they should not
excel as engravers and photographers. Per-
haps a careful study of the institution
founded by the late Peter Cooper, of New
York, would result in valuable suggestions
TO the projectors of the Georgia Techno-
logical School for Women.
Whatever be the plan of the Georgia
school, however, it will be tho beginning of
an important and much needed revolution
A young woman said, the other day, while
discussing her lack Of qualifications for
business: II wish there were school
within my reach in which | could obtain
the training need. ] want to earn money
for myself. l want just once, if never
again, to enjoy the independence of sup
porting myself She doubtless voiced the
wish of many others of her sex Men of
wealth could do no wiser thing than to give
part of it to make the Georgia school of
technology for women what it should be
an efficient and comprehensive institution
in which young women may be trained to
earn money fn1. themselves
